Cyclic nucleotide-modulated channels consist of two groups the cyclic nucleotide—gated (CNG) channels, which play key roles in sensory transduction for olfactory and photoreceptors, and the hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels. HCN channels are cation channels that open with hyperpolarization and close with depolarization upon direct binding of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP, the activation curves for the channels are shifted to more hyper-polarized potentials. These channels play essential roles in cardiac pacemaker cells and presumably in rhythmically discharging neurons.

Fig. 2.5 Frequency-response curve of pacemaker sense amplifier exposed to sin input signals. Signals above the curve are sensed, whereas those below are not. Another characteristic of pacemaker sensing circuits is the preference given to frequencies within the range of 20-60 Hz, a significant frequency component of cardiac lEGMs.

Fig. 19.4 Strength-duration curve created based on a pulse duration threshold at 2.5 V amplitude and a pulse amplitude threshold at a 1.0 ms pulse duration. This curve is automatically constructed by the Medtronic programmer based on testing with the Medtronic Kappa 400 pacemaker. If the output were to fall within the shaded area, it would be subthreshold. The two times and three times safety margin curves are also provided along with the location of the current programmed parameters (X). The curve, based on two data points, is generated from a library of templates which resides within the 9790 programmer.

We observe that the medium tends to the homogeneous bulk oscillation when 0 is small. The smooth curves in Fig.7 A are the wave trajectories for the numerical solution of (1) in the case I = O.O36 and 0 = 0.2. (The bulk reaction dynamics of (1) has a stable periodic oscillation with period Tp = 159 when I = O.O36.) The local disturbance around x = 0 initiates the bulk oscillation in this region which transiently acts as a pacemaker. The leading wave propagates with nearly constant velocity Ca, = 0.57 as it advances into the medium which is lingering for a long time near the (barely) unstable rest state. The next several succeeding waves initially...

An action potential curve shows the changes in a cell s electrical charge during the five phases of the depolarization-repolariza-tion cycle. These graphs show electrical changes for pacemaker and nonpacemaker cells. 

As the graph below shows, the action potential curve for pacemaker cells, such as those in the sinoatrial node, differs from that of other myocardial cells. Pacemaker cells have a resting membrane potential of -60 mV (instead of -90 mV), and they begin to depolarize spontaneously. Called diastolic depolarization, this effect results primarily from calcium and sodium leakage into the cell.
